One look at the ingredient label on your favorite beauty product and you’ll no doubt see a long list of chemicals with names that are nearly impossible to pronounce. No wonder women today face a myriad of skin problems – these ingredients can’t be good for anyone’s skin. Fortunately there are natural alternatives for every beauty product, some you can even make yourself at home. Read on for the top DIY natural skin care tips.
1. Apply coconut oil
- Coconut oil has to be the best-kept secret among natural beauty experts for both skin and hair.
- Apply a few drops of coconut oil to your hands, cheeks, arms and legs to add a quick glow and moisturize skin.
- Use coconut oil as a natural replacement for shaving cream.
- Coconut oil can also be used on your hair – use melted coconut oil as a deep conditioning hair and scalp treatment.
- Massage coconut oil into your scalp and then work it through your hair, leave it on for a couple of hours, then wash it out using shampoo.
- If you don’t want to use pure coconut oil on your skin or hair, look for products that contain only natural ingredients (i.e. coconut oil) like Pure Fiji’s coconut milk shower gel or coconut creme shampoo and conditioner.
2. Drink water
- It may seem obvious but drinking at least 8oz of water everyday is important for both your skin and your overall well-being.
- Water keeps your skin hydrated and prevents it from getting dull and dry.
- Also try to eat plenty of vegetables and fruits with a high water content such as watermelon, cucumbers, grapefruit and strawberries. Read more
